Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Zhao Sisi picked peanuts, she felt that someone was looking at her.
She followed the gaze and saw Mao Dao looking at her.
Zhao Sisi smiled at Mao Dao, indicating that she was fine and not to worry. Then, she turned around and continued talking to everyone.
Their interaction caught Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing’s attention.
Li Xiaoqing nudged Zhao Sisi with her arm.
“Look, he’s looking at you so eagerly. Why don’t you go talk to him?!” Zhao Sisi blushed after being teased by Li Xiaoqing.
Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked, “You can tell too?”
“I could tell since long ago. I was the first to tell! Mao Dao literally stares at Sisi all day long! How mushy! Probably everyone in our shop can tell!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she thought of something. “Everyone in the shop knows? In that case, Aunt knows about this too?!” This time, Li Xiaoqing and Zhao Sisi immediately looked over.
“That can’t be!” Li Xiaoaing said in disbelief.
Zhao Sisi also fell into deep thought.
Zhao Sisi quickly said, “No wonder!”
“No wonder what?” Li Xiaoran and Li Xiao Qing asked at the same time.
“My mother said some strange things some time ago. At that time, I was confused, but now that I think about it carefully, I finally understand!” Zhao Sisi said.
“Huh? What did Aunt say?” Li Xiaoqing asked curiously, “Hurry up and tell us!”
Zhao Sisi looked at Li Xiaoran, then at Li Xiaoqing, then at the other three people who were talking about something. Then, she lowered her voice and said,
“That day, I had just returned from the shop and I was feeling tired, so I wanted to rest first! But my mother stopped me and asked me what my plans were for my own marriage! Before I could say anything, my mother said something else.”
“My mother said that I have to consider marriage carefully and not get deceived by sweet nothings! She said that most men are very good at coaxing people. The better they are at coaxing people, the more unreliable they are! Therefore, I have to consider the man’s family background. If I can live a good life, why should I choose to live a hard life?”
After saying this, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiao Qing looked at each other.
“Your mother must know about Mao Dao’s feelings for you, so she said that.
Perhaps your mother realized that you slowly developed feelings for Mao Dao. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such a hurry to let us find you a good person!” Li Xiaoran said.
Zhao Sisi finally understood and sighed.
“My mother only wants me to marry into a rich and powerful family, but why doesn’t she think about it? With my qualifications, would they fancy me?”
Li Xiaoqing thought of something and asked, “Where’s Second Uncle? Is that also his intention?”
“If my father didn’t agree, would he let my mother ask you guys to find a husband for me?” Zhao Sisi said.
Li Xiaoqing was enlightened and sighed.
Li Xiaoqing said sympathetically, “Sigh, if your parents don’t support you, things will be difficult for you!”
“It’s not difficult for me. I have my own ideas and I can earn money myself. Most importantly, don’t I still have you guys to help me?” Zhao Sisi was very open-minded.
“Even if we help you, you’ll suffer! Sigh, I don’t understand what Second Uncle and Second Aunt are thinking. Is money and power that important?” Li Xiaoqing said.
Li Xiaoqing thought of something and said, “Perhaps what happened to the Hu family previously affected them too much! Think about it, it’s normal for them to go astray after being schemed against by the Hu family! It’s just that we have to let Second Uncle and Second Aunt think it through themselves. Otherwise, they will take things too far and who knows how much trouble will happen!”
“My father and mother are already obsessed. They can’t see the truth at all!” Zhao Sisi said, “My brother has gone out to work now! He always gets someone to bring some money back, but my parents don’t care how my brother is doing outside. Instead, they only ask if my brother has found a good way to earn money.”
When Li Xiaoqing and Li Xiaoran heard Zhao Sisi’s words, they felt helpless. With such parents, it was no wonder that her eldest cousin, Zhao Lijun, wanted to go out and adventure.
From another perspective, this wasn’t a bad thing.
Previously, under the influence of his parents and after experiencing the Hu family’s incident, Zhao Lijun made a bold decision.
Now that he was far away from the influence of his parents, he might slowly realize that there was something wrong with his way of thinking.
I feel suffocated. I heard from Grandpa and Grandma that they wanted to dig for peanuts today, so I pestered them to come over. Only then did I have a chance to take a breather,” Zhao Sisi said.
Li Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you talk to your grandfather and grandmother and move in with them? You can live a little more comfortably that way!”
Li Xiaoran also felt that this was a good idea. it wasn’t far away and in the name of filial piety, her second uncle and second aunt probably wouldn’t refuse.
“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of this idea?!” Zhao Sisi’s eyes lit up and she immediately became happy. “I’ll find an opportunity to tell Grandma later.
Grandma will definitely be willing to help me!”
After solving this problem, everyone started talking about other things. There was strength in numbers, so it didn’t take long for all the peanuts to be plucked and placed in the basket.
After that, the group went to the watermelon field to choose a few more watermelons. Then, they each carried one and went back.
Because there were a lot of peanuts, they couldn’t be washed with well water.
The group went to a stream not far away and placed the baskets in the water. Then, they stirred it with a hoe to wash away the sand.
After that, everyone brought the peanuts and watermelons back to the Luo family’s house. The group washed the peanuts with mountain spring water three times before cooking them in a large pot.
When Zhao Sisi saw her grandma, Xu Xiufang, go wash her hands, she followed her and told her that she wanted to live with her and her grandpa. After Xu Xiufang asked Zhao Sisi about it in detail, she finally agreed..
